NGK Ignition Cable Kit – RC-VW254 (Stock No. 7044)
This NGK ignition cable kit restores a clean, strong spark and reliable ignition performance. It is designed to reduce electrical interference and improve spark delivery, helping engines start better and run smoothly under load.
Built with high quality silicone and a spiral-wound core, the leads offer excellent heat resistance and long service life. The boots seal well against moisture and oil, helping prevent misfires.
Why it matters
– Better spark control for smoother idle and throttle response.
– Strong insulation to resist heat, oil and vibration.
– Stable resistance for consistent performance over time.
Always match the kit to your exact vehicle using the site’s vehicle lookup or the Vehicle Fitment tab.
Broad compatibility
Fits selected Volkswagen Group petrol engines that use a distributor-based ignition system. This typically includes popular VW and Audi 4-cylinder models from the 1990s era. Check exact fitment before purchase.

Delivery timescales are given as estimates in good faith, but cannot be taken as precise or exact information. We highly advise against booking installation/workshop time or engaging in preparatory work until you've received and inspected the goods.
What do our stock statuses mean?
1+ IN STOCK in green stock is readily available in one of our warehouses for express delivery (at the time of viewing).
LOW STOCK in green means we're running low! 1 or 2 left on the shelf so act fast. Over evenings, weekends and bank holidays this stock can move quickly so please bear this in mind.
0 IN STOCK in blue means our primary warehouse does not have unallocated stock, but our UK partners do. Often these can be shipped quickly and efficiently. You'll be notified via the Track My Order page if further delays are unavoidable.
MADE TO ORDER in blue means we've partnered with a supplier which primarily makes their products to order. It's not on our shelf, but your order goes into production immediately.
0 IN STOCK in orange means everybody we work with is unfortunately out of stock. Stock is not available in the UK. The best course of action is to place an order to create an allocation from the next batch arriving.
OUT OF STOCK in red. This product is unavailable to order, for whatever reason we're unable to obtain stock or there is an issue with supply/lead times.
We're tuners too!
Our staff are car enthusiasts, we understand the need for speed... This includes getting your orders out the door as quickly and securely as possible!
In some instances, extended lead times are unavoidable. This is as labour-intensive and frustrating for us as it is for you, please know we are doing our best to facilitate your modification goals. Abuse of our staff or systems will not be tolerated.
Thank you, Team PP
In the words of the Vehicle Standards Agency (VCA), type approval provides "confirmation that production and samples of a design will meet specified performance standards".
For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.
Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.
Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
